Heparin Topical Gel, a common anticoagulant medication, has been clinically studied as a topical gel to reduce the appearance of various types of scars, including keloid and hypertrophic scars. Heparin elicits a negative regulatory effect on collagen production through down-regulation of pro-alpha1(I) of the type I collagen gene, inhibiting polymerization of collagen and loosening the collagen structure.1
